With Earp and Bassett out of town, George Morris' gang sacks Dodge City and rounds up all the remaining deputies except for Bat, who finds Earp and sneaks back into town to fight the gang with the help of local residents.

When a disgruntled cowhand holes up in a warehouse, Earp investigates the man's experiences in Dodge City to understand what drove him to violence and uncovers a chain of abuse perpetrated by underhanded citizens.

A newly deputized Bat complicates an arrest by shooting perpetrator Billy Jordan after Billy ran out of bullets; while Earp and the deputies race to find a surgeon, Billy's family holds Bat hostage and threatens to take revenge if Billy dies.
